Anomalies in the Structural Chemistry of Silicon

In contrast to carbon, silicon fails to form multiple bonds that are stable at room temperature. Consequently molecules in which silicon exhibits coordination numbers (CN) of 1, 2, and 3 may only be obtained at very high or low temperatures. Under these conditions their structural features, including multiple bonds, resemble those of carbon. On the other hand, silicon is capable of forming various hexacoordinated compounds making use of its d orbitals. Nitrogen and oxygen bonded to silicon develop an unusual stereochemistry: planar nitrogen, nearly or completely linear oxygen, and considerable shortening of SiN, SiO, and SiF bonds are specific examples. N(SiR₃)₂ and CH₂SiR₃ ligands permit stabilization of unusually low CNs of many metals and give rise to amino and alkyl derivatives of unexpectedly high stability due to the particular electronic, the R₃Si group.     

Structural and Optical Properties of Sol-Gel Derived Aluminosilicate Planar Waveguides Doped with Er3+ Ions

Er3+ doped-aluminosilicate thin films were prepared on silica and silica/Si substrates by the sol-gel process and dip-coating. The sol-gel aluminosilicate planar waveguides were prepared from silicon and aluminium alkoxides. Their structural characterization has been carried out by Raman spectroscopy, Atomic Force and Scanning Electron Microscopies. The results indicated that these films present an amorphous structure until an annealing temperature of 900°C, while at temperatures higher than 1000°C, crystallization occurs. An estimate of microcrystallite sizes using Raman spectroscopy is given, which agrees with data from scanning electron microscopy. The optical properties have been investigated by Fluorescence spectroscopy in the visible region.

Preparation and lithium doping of gallium oxynitride by ammonia nitridation via a citrate precursor route

Gallium oxynitride, isostructural to hexagonal gallium nitride (h-GaN), was obtained by ammonia nitridation of a precursor prepared from the addition of citric acid to an aqueous solution of gallium nitrate. Gallium oxynitride produced at 750 °C had a small amount of gallium vacancies, and was formulated as (Ga_0.89□_0.11) (N_0.66O_0.34) where the symbol □ stands for gallium vacancy. Both the gallium vacancies and oxygen substituted for nitrogen were randomly distributed within the structure. The amount of vacancies decreased with nitridation temperatures in the range of 750-850 °C. Approximately, 10 at% Li⁺ was doped into the gallium oxynitride, using a similar preparation with the additional presence of lithium nitrate, resulted in the random substitution of Ga³⁺ in an atomic ratio of Li/Ga<1 at 750 °C. Oxygen was codoped with lithium and substituted nitrogen in the wurtzite-type crystal lattice. These substitutions reduced the electrical conductivity in the gallium oxynitride semiconductor. A new oxynitride, Li₂Ga₃NO₄, was also obtained with Li₂CN₂ impurity using similar preparations from a mixture of Li/Ga?1. The crystal structure was isostructural with h-GaN, and was refined as P6₃mc with a=0.31674(1) nm, and c=0.50854(2) nm. The Ga and Li occupancies at the 2b site were refined to be 0.6085 and 0.3915, respectively, assuming that the other 2b site was randomly occupied with 1/5O and 4/5N. When the new compound was washed for over 1 min for the removal of Li₂CN₂ impurities, it was decomposed to a mixture of α-GaOOH and α-LiGaO₂. The as-prepared product with Li/Ga=1 showed the highest intensity in yellow luminescence among the products under excitation at 254 nm.     

稀土掺杂对锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4结构及电性能的影响

利用微波加热技术合成稀土掺杂基锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2-xRExO4(RE=Y，Nd，Gd，Ce)，通过XRD、循环伏安及恒电漉充放电测试研究了稀土掺杂离子对合成正极材料结构及电化学性能的影响。XRD测试结果表明，合适的掺杂量可以起到扩展锂离子脱嵌通道和稳定骨架结构的作用，稀土离子的引入可以部分取代原有的三价锰离子，由于稀土离子的离子半径较三价锰离子大，因此稀土掺杂锰酸锂材料的晶胞参数比未掺杂材料大，在一定程度上扩充了锂离子迁移的三维通道，更有利于锂离子的嵌入与脱嵌；循环伏安及恒电漉充放电测试结果表明稀土掺杂有效提高了LiMn2O4材料的电化学循环可逆性及循环稳定性。     

Characterization and electrochemical investigation of boron-doped mesocarbon microbead anode materials for lithium ion batteries

The structure and anodic performance of boron-doped and undoped mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) have been comparatively studied and the results obtained by XPS, XRD, SEM, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements are discussed. It is found that boron doping introduces a depressed d ₀₀₂ spacing and the larger amount of "unorganized carbon", which induces vacancy formation in the graphite planes and leads to a quite different morphology from that of the undoped material. Electrochemical charge/discharge cycle tests indicated that after boron doping the lithium intercalation was carried through at a somewhat higher potential, being attended by greater irreversible capacity loss.
